The recent discovery of rendering surgical operations
painless, by the inhalation of the vapor of sulphuric
Ither. n sit*actir.a great attention in England Dr.
Wire and Dr. Warren of Boston, first communicated
ttiii important matter to Or. Forbes, the editor of the
..British ad Foreign Medical Review” and he im
mediately published authentic documents respecting
lhi< discovery, and appended a communication on the
*ame subject from Or. Bigelow, which that gentleman
pubJtahtd m the “Boston Medical and Surgical Journ-
Tbe Times , and other leading papers, re-published,
in extensu, all the documents. Or. Liston and other
distinguished surgeons at once made experiments ac
cording to Or. Bigelow's directions, and met with the
gieatesl success.
Liston is the master of chirurgery inEnulatid; in
(he theatre of the University College lJo.pual lie am
puljted the thigh of a mail who had been previous'y
narcotised by inhaling the ether vapor. Sho Uy us er
being placed on the updating table the patient began
to nhaie, and became appaienily insensible in two 01
thr<*e minutes.
The operation was (lien commenced, and the limb
wtis removed in les* than a minute, th patient remain
mg, during <he incisions and the lying of the arteries,
perfectly still and motionless. While the vessels were
being secured, on being spoken to, he roused partially
up, still showing no signs of pain, and answered ques
tions put to him in u slow, <lro*sy manner. He de
clared ‘.hat at no part of the operation had he felt pain,
though he seemed to be partially conscious. He had
beard some words, aud felt that something was being
done to bis limb, lie was not even aware that the
limb was off till told of the fact, and then he expressed
great gratification at having been saved from pain.—
Every thing proceed and subsequently as usual, and
went on most favorably.
Dr. Liston has since performed several surgical op
erations while his patients were under the influence o
sulphuric etoer; and. as he sljles, *with the most per
feci and satisfactory results. ’
Dr. Bigelow, or his con, has f awarded to the editor
of the London LairCtt a full report of this diseeve y
ami lUellecU upon he* pptien s. and this report la*
been published in the Lancet. It has crea ed an extia
ord nary sensation aidAm*rici will have he
cred \ of aleviaiing a vast deal of human suffering by
lb gruff discovery.

COTTOM [TIAKKET.
Our market bus not been brisk for the few last dnvs.
because the, receipts have been light, and hut little offer
ing. The operutions that have been effected, are at for
mer prices, and we. nmv say the market is tirra. Price*
rule from 10 a 111 cents.
A Word to (lie Planters.
The flattering condition of the planter, with the cheer-1
ing prospect of a continuance, mid perhaps, an improve
ment of his good fortune, n.ay induce him to extend the
cultivation ofCoiton the eusuing season. The experi
ence of the past, gees lo prove that such a result has
i uniformly attended un advance in the price of the sta
ple, and w hich has as uniformly been followed by a cor
responding depression; an inevitable consequence of a
glut of the commodity in the market. That experience
will any more effect a remedy for this mistaken confi
dence, than it has done heretofore, we huve no belief.
The planter will go on to increase the culture of cotton,
foi the reason that it has advanced in price. The man
who mokes fifty bales of cotton this year, will strive to
make a hundred the next year, without stopping to re
flect upon the consequences that will most certainly fol
low the increased supply. The speculator studies at
tentively the cotton estimates, the stocks on hand, the
receipts, consumption, Ac., and tegulates his prices ac
cordingly. Such considerations never occur to ihe
planter, and he is governed by no rule or estimate, oth-’
er than the prices for which lie sold his last crop.
The adaptation of the supply to the consunqUion is
the grand desideratum. Politicians and merchants strive
lo maintain balances of power and trade, by which they
regulate and control all their schemes and undertakings.
Planters should he equally assiduous, in endeavoring
to preserve a proper balance between the supply and
consumption of their agricultural products, by which
means they might always be sure of obtaining remuner
ating returns for their labor and capitul.
These are axiomutic trullis, which none will deny ;
but do they have any influence on those whom they most
concern? Rarely do the planters ever think of them;
and the consequence is, that he is the sufferer by his
awn acta of inconsiderateness and folly. But the pres
ent unprecedented condition cf the world, will no
doubt effect results, which could not be accomplished
bv any other mean*. The cotton planter may be pretty
well assured, that lie will obtain remunerating prices
for his next crop. The smallness of the stock now on
baud, and which will be on hand, on the winding up of
the seasons business, afford him this almost positive as
surance. Under ordinary circumstances, this prospect
ol fuir prices would be productive of the mischief wc
have been ulluding to, and excessive crops would be
the consequence. But fortunately cotton is not, and
for the future, perhaps, will not be the only crop that
will realize money to the planter. Corn and grain crops
hereafter will be, if not equally profitable, at least more
certain. From the facilities afforded by railways, of
transportation, and a sure market in Europe for all
kinds of bread stuffs, thousands of acres of land in
Georgia, which have heretofore been ‘in the wood*,* be
cause theV would nt)t make cotton, will be cleared and
cultivated. The starving and destitute poor of England.
Ireland, Scotland end Europe, have to be fed, and to
the United States they look for their main supplies.
An unpiecfdented famine now prevails in many of the
countries cf Europe, and a general scarcity of food will
be fell for years to come, so that we are assured of a cer
tain and constant market for our corn nnd small grain.
From an English paper*we learn that it will require a
weekly importation’of one million btlshels cereal food to
supply the loss of the potato crop in Ireland, England
nnd Scotland, up to September next, and that from the
want of weed potatoes, there is every probability of a
corresponding demand continuing for the ensuing year.
The supply of grain in the different ports of Great Brit
ain, is not sufficient for the starving millions of Ireland,
and the mills cannot keep up with the demand for meal.
In the high lands of Scotland, in many of the counties
of England, in Belgium, and other parts of the Conti
nent, there, is an equal demand for corn, and all the ton
nage which can be procured in the ports of America, is
insufficient to throw in a timely supply.
Asa natural of this melancholy state of 1
things abroad, all kinds of cereal food have gone up. and
high prices will continue for a long time to come. In
New York, Corn Is worth from $1 03 a ft 07 its
per bushel; in New Orleans, it brings readily 80 aBS
cents; in Charleston, 80 aBS cents, and in Savannah
80 aBS cents. At these prices, a corn crop will puy the I
planter well, and we hope, that with sue li a prospect I
ahead, our planting friends will be induced to plant corn 1
and sow wheat, instead of putting all their land in
cotton.
Late ml liniMirtaiit from nnico.
By our lm New Oileans papers, we have received
intelligence of a very exciting nature from Mexico, hut
as it cornea in a questionable shape, we prefer giving it
to our reader, in a. condensed a compass as practicable, 1
instead of occupying our columns with the details of
what has no belter foundalinn than ramp rumors.
A report was prevalent at Veta Cruu, that the oppo-1
oat ion of Santa Anna to the recent decree nf Congress
for the sale of Church properly has provoked the ven
geance of the soldiers and that he had been shot.
The report oeeda confirmation, but that there bad
been great excitement against him. there can be no
i doubt. a , . oi i
The cause of this excitement is the adoption hy the
| Congress of a pmject far taking possession of the prop
erty of the clergy. Tile article reads as follows :
The government ia authorized to raise $16,000,000
to carry on the war aga’nst the United Stales, giving
mortgages on the property of rile clergy, or telling the
•ante and necessary to taise the above sum.
Thisarticle wait'carried by a vote of 55 to 31. Ar
ticle 2d. giving Government the power to sell the
1 church property was pissed by a vote of 44 to 35
! The argument of .Ministers being that unless io. aus
were placed at the command of Government, the *u
-1 thorittes could nut be responsible for the safety of the 1
counity and that without lunds the army would tie ‘
| disbanded, and march upon the Capitol to light the i
I torch of civil war.
There ia no account in the Mexican papers of tha |
j Congress having touched the matter of a peace w ith
the United States. On the contrary, the moat hostile
feelings appear to have been exhibited.
The Mexican Government had promoted La Vega’
to the rank of General, in recompense for his bravery
in the action of Ressca dc la Palma. A resolution
had also been passed, to present him with a gold med
al, beating an appropriaia inscription.
! The pa.sage oflhe law for telling the church prop
erty. to keep up the war, had craatrd the greatest ex
citement throughout Mexico. The Churches were

Notwithstanding the pressing exigencies of the

to be prosecuted by this Government with any view to

this government, ever desirous to maintain and pre
serve peaceful and friendly relations with all nations
and particularly with the neighboring Republic of Mex
ico, will always be ready to enter upon negotiations
with a view to terminate the present unhappy conflict
on terms which shall seen re the just rights and preserve
inviolate the national honor of the United States and
of Mexico; that it is especially desirable, in order to
maintain and preserve those amicable relations which
ought always to exist between neighboring Republics.

VVe want no better evidence of the good policy of
what is termed “the Georgia Combination,” than the
following article from the Montgomery Journal. Geor
gia ha* too long been tributary to other States, and wc j
rejoice to see that she is waking up to her interests, and
that her resources, capital, energies, and enterprise, are
to be appropriated to the advancement of her ow n citr
Zens and not to strangers.
The editor of the Journal writes feelingly about the
matter, as well he may, for the Alabama Road began at
Montgomery, and terminating in the woods, will be but
a sorry affair, unless Georgia should consent to an ex.
tension of it through our upper couulies, which she nev
er will do. „
THE GEORGIA COMBINATION.
We observe in the Macon and Columbus papers
the consummation of a scheme of narrow selfish
ness, aye of intensest meanness, by the convention
of the Georgia Kail Roads at that place, which, as it
vitally affects the interest of this city, Mobile, and
our State generally, it becomes us to record. It is
well known that Georgia, through her towns on the
Chattahoochie, has enjoyed a large and valuable por
tion of the trade of the Eastern counties of this Slate.
The obstacles of the dividing ridge between the two
rivers has, by cutting off convenient access to the wa
ters of the Alabama, forced Ihe trade of those coun
ties to an interior market, necessarily so from the dif
ficult and expensive navigation of the Chatiaheochie
and the commercial deficiencies of Apalachicola, its
port The great object of the Rail Road, now in pro
gress from this place to West Point, is to firing that
trade to our own seaport, by opening an avenue
through the dividing highlands, and furnish ready ac
cess for the people of those counties to a nearer ,
cheaper , and letter market, both for cotton and groce
ries, which, as farTas it has advanced, it has been
successfully doing, securing for this place and Mo
bile a valuable and increasing trade, appaient to all
and ft It in every department of business. Unwilling
to loose her grasp on this valuable countiy, Western
Georgia, and especially Columbtft, has been working
and intrigueing desperately for years to stop or change
the direction of the work and prevent is teaching the
country above her. To aid ibis project she has con
trived to make some interest in this Slate in her be
half, and even singular as it may seem, has even a
small parly in this place, who seem to have the pros
perity of Columbus more at heart than that of their
own country.
In furtherance of these views our Legislature was
approached with a request for the tight of way from
that B ale in several directions from Columbus . one 1
to Auburn, in Macon, and another on a route below
this place from Girard to Mobile. Alabama, in asj i
ru of liberality which dot*3 her honor, readily and
cheerfully granted the request, and although the Con
templated roads conflicted seiiousl) with the rights
and interests of a portion of this State, yet no oppo
si'ion was urged by it, and the privileges asked were
courteously arid liberally granted. How did Georgia
requite Aiabanu for the prompt and courteous man
ner in which she yielded to her the desired important
privileges ? Maik the unutterable meanness of the
subsequent transactions. Her covetous and grasping
spirit was incapable of a like magnanimity. Having
obtained what they sought from Alabama, the influ
ence of western and interior Georgia then commen
ced working the screws in the Georgia Legislature, to
prevent the grant of a like privilege in return to Ala
bama, and defeat the btil for the connecting link be
tween West Point and Atlanta —refusing to Alabama
any, and the only outlet, to the only work of inter
nal improvement within its borders. This was done
to force this road to change its course to Columbus.
lv taking away one motive for continuing on lo West
1 Point. The Georgia Kail Road, running from Au-
I gusta to Atlanta, has since been persuaded, bought,
j or intimidated into an abandonment of All hopes of c
j route from A lania lo West Point, and has beeu led
; to unite at the late Rail Road convention at Macon,
in the scheme of making the connecting link frfim Cos
lumbus to Barnesville, instead of from'West Point to
Atlanta, aud thus save so? # Columbus, Ga., the Al
abama trade which it has enjoyed for years, which
| would be broken up by the construction of the Mont
; gomery and West Point Rail R. ad. This combina-
I tion is hailed with much j *y in portions of Georgia.
It is announced, in exulting terms, that the “West
’ Point Rail Road is killed.” The sequel will show,
we suspect, that it is “scotched, not killed.” Though
i it may make little difference with the stockholders of j
the road, [except so far as they may be interested, and
; real estate holder? in Montgomery.] which place shall |
; be the terminus of their road, whether at Columbus
lor Watt Point, it makes a vast diffoience wuh the i
people of Montgomery and Mobile; and we trust that |
the company will not allow itself to bo intimidated or i
driven from the route, so important not only lo this I
j place, but to the people of that section of Alabama; *
and we have every reason to believe that they cannot
be thus coerced. If they are forced to Columbus, ihe
; road will be sis comparatively little value to Montgom
ery ; ifcontinued # to West Point, it is not necessary
1 to metitiort to those acquainted with the course of
trade, that it opens a rich avenue to a vastly increased
and prosperous business.
Montgomery and Its Rail Road does not object to
the route| to* Columbus, if it also can have the route
through the proper counties. Georgia says you shall
have but one, and that the one which we give you.
: Perhaps so—“it will be seen.”

“Santa Cruz,(\V. I.) Nov. 9, 1840.

Copenhagen Ihe plantations are m> large, agcuis

advantage from shipping, &.c The.inland is governed
by the Danes who own it, and all offices are held by
them. The estates ure chiefly owned by Englishmen,
and the Iren blacks rule the town—that is, they are
more numerous than either whites or slaves, and have
much to do w ith the general luanageuieui of the plocw—
Caste is us manifest among them, as amongst the w bites,
und they own and treat their slaves just as the w hiles
do.
The thermometer stands übout the same at f* o’clock
in the morning as at night—no change of importance
at any time, ihe difference it> iclt when you go out in

sun is always hot, and must tie avoided—it rains in
showers almost every day, particularly at night—the
people conform to the usual habits ol the island* rs eve
rywhere, indolent, and live any wuv to uvo:d labor,—
every thing almost grows wild, and they can live with
very little labor. There are so many kinds ol Iruit, ant*
so easily obtained, the lu/.y ones can muke out to live

he held them ill Ins hand and carried them off. The
Centipede, similar to the hair-wig or thousand legged

bites you in bed —they grow here to be 6 inches tong ,
and look worse than a snake, our landlord whs stung
by one recently, while in bed, he got up and killed him
—the bite is poisonous, hut not dangerous. I believe
I should jump out the window if one was to get hold
of me. The island is not troubled with poisonous
snakes and reptiles, in general they ure harmless, frogs
abound, und \ou hear them p ap all übout just as they

anff'ridp whichever way you will, the ocean is close at
hand—the fqude ure lined with the cocoa tree, and it is
seldom you Waff pass them w ithout finding more or less
of the ripe fruit. The tree grows perhaps to be 70 leet
high, 50 leet from the ground the trunk is naked, prob
ably a foot or more in diameter, brunches resembling
the Pulmetto, shoot out at the top, stiff and scylbe-like,
forming a bushy top to the tree. The nut grows in
clusters something like the bauan i, and bears 20,30 6l
40, ami dont spread—as soon us one crop ripens anoth
er comes, so that it always bears —many of the trees
dont grow as high as 1 have estimated, though what I
have seen, mostly ran up tall.
I met the negro s this morning going to town, with
their little market gfufis, such as bananas, milk, fish,
&.c. the town is supplied in this way. Some of the fin
est estates lav just above us, 1 ro<!e up to one, and was
importuned for a sti\er, by an old negro to buy him
some bacco. They use {obacco and smoke as common
us wed**—he was employed ns a watchman, and point
ed out his grounds; they are obliged to wulch, to pie
veut the cane from being stolen, and keep off cattle.
Acc. no fences, and all the estates are known by the old
ancierq land-marks—every estute has qmie.a large hell,
which is rung to call the negroes together; ilie sound
is plea'Bant as you ride alone the valleys and hills. My
ride this morning was in a deep valley with high hills
on both sides; the hills rising so high and coining so
near together, cast an evening shade upon the vallev
below, it was really beautiful, and seemed like a fine
twilight landscape painted by a master hund. The hills
are more commonly the shape of a cone, nnd cultiva
ted to the extreme top, you will naturally ask how this
is dons—When ihe ground? ate lo be gotrexdv for plan
ting, you may see a gung of 50 hands on the hill side.,
all in close contact, all raising the hoe. and digging np
the eprlh by mind, so they go on to the very lop of the
bills—paths are left wide enough for mules lo walk in
so that when the carie ripens it mav be gathered there
on upon the millet* back, und lie walks down to the
mill situated below, und there makes bis deposit©.
We have it very warm, thermometer usually tunning
up to 85 in course of the day. The mornings are the j
most oppressive, the* trade w inds blowing from tue east, |
neafjy thp wfiole winter through, dont spring up till j
towards 10 o’clock, the sun by that time geto warm, j
and wd are shut in.
The rains have been more frequent, the cane fields
look ynusually well,very stout, fresh and green. They <
wi)| commence cutting in 10 days, gfinding and boiling
the svrup to sugar ; we long to gel hold of the pure sv -
rup, and enjoy the smell ol the boiling surnr—this the
natives consider heullhv, and remark that the negroes j
grow fat in twigar making times. The negroes are ;
clad about as they are w ith us—uever having cold w e. j
ther, they dont suffer from lack of clothing, now and
| then you w ill see one with swollen feet and legs, caus
ed by living in hot climates, a sort of fever it is suit!
brings it on. You cant imagine the size of ihe limb nt
times, it looks about like n tree and becomes very j
troublesome. This is not confined to ihe blacks—the
whites urc subject to the sumo disease. A negro here
I cun go to taw with hi* muster, he and his ow ner lodge
! their complaint with the judge, before w hom the par- i
ties are brought, and after looking into the matters th* j
judge decides between them—any slave can at any time j
purchase himselfby getting disinterested persons to put j
a valuation upon him. All slaves are allowed the !
whole of 4v*\ry Saturday lor their own use. and also j
furnished with land to raise what they*will. Children I
are hound to he sent to school by their masters, till they
are seven years old, taught to.read the same as white
children—A II these thing* are tust preparing the way
for their emancipation; it is said, ami I suppose is true,
that the majority of them do not Want (heir freedom—
their privileges ore now almost equal to free persons,
and they seem to thiuk them selves about us well off as 1
they cun be.”

A DESi.Ut El) NOTICE.
We had been for some days sufleriog under severe:
inflammation ol the lungs, produced bv cold, and irri-!
tnted by speaking in public, so that throughout iktimr- |
day night, Suuday, Monday, till Tuesday the symptoms I
of the disease seamed to increase, ami the hufl'eiiug was
intense, without the least appetite for food. Thccough 1
was dry and hard, causing the must acute pains in the I
head und back. We had lairly given up all hope of re- I
lief, when we ihaoglit of this Bitsv*, and we sent!
round to our friend, Heirtiish, Ini a bottle. We lons j
lire first dose according to directions, and almost in
stantly fall aglow of healthy warmth through the sya- !
tern—this was at ten o’clock—at five we tuok another
ib c—at nine another, and we soon after detected a per >
ceplihle relief In the frequency of the spasms and vio-!
lent pi n* that had belore attended them. After thtee
in the (doming we look number dose, and the phlegm,
though tough, yellow and ropy, is ejected from the
longs with comparative ease We feel grateful bribe
relief sflorded, nod recommend a trial of it by all who

Houston Superior Court.
October Adjourned Term,
the Grand Jury, selected and sworn at the reg-
V v uiar October Term of the Superior Court, for the
‘•ouuty of Houston, having, previous to the adjourumeuc
of that sitting, embraced lu our general presentments,
such matters and things then thought neceaeaay in re
lation lo ihe multifarious interests of the county, our
communication of a general or special ehuiacter, may ac
this tune be summed up in few words, trusting that wont
wus recommend* and by (his body ut that time to the
•fudges of the Inferior Court and olher officers appoint
ed tor the protection of ihe rights of citizens, as well aa
to watch over the interests of the county generally, we
feel it the less incumbent upon this ocouoiou to consume
the time and attention of the Court in useless repetition.
We proceed, Ihe re lore, in the character of the Grand
Jury, selected as before named, to suggest to our Rep
resentatives in both branches ot the next Legislature,
the propriety, anu we inuy add, actuul necessity of pro
-1 curing tiie passage of a law which would give to the
i county of Houston two weeks instead of'one each term,
for the sitting of the Bupenor Court, avid that there
should he two lira rid Juries einpantielled for each term,
ho that one Jury would not be required to serve more
than one week during the same term.
And although we are, as a body generally,opposed to
uny alteration in the forms and customs adopted by our
fathers, iiitrnded to protect and guard the interests of
tite private citizen, as well as the community at large,
vet we ar- led to believe, that the law requiring tho
unanimous finding o‘ twelve jurors selected in the pro
miscuous manner, as is the custom in this State, impose*
obligenous upon jurors acting under this law and upon
thcr ouths, which are haid lo be complied with ; and wo
believe we do not go to.) far in saying,is demoralizing in
its tendencies, for the leasou, thnt the conscientious urn
frequently compelled to sanction positions ut variance
with their sense of right and wrong between parties at
issue, ill order to perlec.l a verdict under the law, ns it
now stands; for the further reason, that if the line of
conduct as marked out by euch individual for himself,
be ones overleaped, the lruiltv of human nature makea
us less scrupulous in alter life. In view of these diffi
culties, we Suggest the propriety of asking our Repre
sentatives in both branches ot the nnxt Legislature, to
u*e their infiusoce for the purpose of procuring the pas
sage of n law which will authorize two-thirds of a jury
agreeing upon u verdict lo be sufficient in all civil ac<*
lions.
lu taking our leave of hi* Honor Judge Alexander.
we take pleasure in returning him our sincere thank*
for hi* courteovs deportment towards tips body during
the silling of this udjourned tenuof our Court, and to
offer 10 him some evidence, however slight, of the man
ner in which we appieciale his conduct as one of the
Judges of the Superior Court, inasmuch as that having
travelled out of the cold line of official duty, he could
only have done so at u very considerable personal sac
rifice ; and we congratulate our fellow citizens of tha
Chattahoochee Circuit over which be presides, in hav
ing a man possessing alt the rare qualities of the gen
tleman. combined with high legal attainments'eminent
ly filling him for the discharge of the office of Judge.
We ulso feel once again to return our acknowledge
menta to the Solicitor General* lor his kind attentions to
I this body, and the untiring prompt ness which be has ac
II limes evinced to aid this borfv in the discharge of all
their duties connected with his office. *
